We had a dog that was terrified of them, she would run up and down the front porch, hide under the benches and make piddle puddles everytime thunder struck when she was a puppy. After she got a little older, she would just go hide under the shed until the storm passed.

One of our dogs is terrified of thunder. He cowers and shakes and it only gets better when the thunder stops. It's cute for a short amount of time, but then I just send him into the deepest part of the house and try to keep him calm there. He does follow me everywhere in the house when he's scared.

He sure is. He can tell it's going to rain hours before it does. He is also afraid of just rain though. Don't know why. It drives me crazy cause I love storms! You can give them Benadryl or Melatonin to ease their anxiety. We have to keep him a room where there is no windows.
